"Commander-in-Chief, do you really want me to do this?!" Du Jianan looked at the commander-in-chief in shock, his eyes filled with surprise and astonishment, and even a strong sense of fear.
"Don't think too much. I told you to relax. Why are you talking so much nonsense?!" The commander-in-chief sat naked on the side and said calmly.
The commander-in-chief's name is Du Jingcai, whose surname is the same as Du Jianan, but few people in the entire Devil City know this name.
As for the relationship between the two of them, it was just as rumored, they were indeed father and son, but every father and son who didn't want to recognize each other naturally had some secrets.
Both parties can face this kind of thing calmly, and there is no need for outsiders to interfere.
Therefore, every time they communicated, Du Jianan still called the other party the Grand Commander. The Grand Commander should give power to this "father", the nominal second-in-command of Devil City, but he never showed any good face to him.
Du Jianan called for reinforcements, and the greenskin army suffered heavy losses. Du Jianan asked Lu Wei for instructions and returned to the city, and this is what happened in front of us.
At this time, they saw that there was a big pot between the two of them. Even an adult could fit in it and it didn't look small. The pot was filled with boiling water, which had already boiled to over 100 degrees.
Although Du Jingcai's attitude towards Du Jianan was very bad, Du Jianan's face did not show any complaint or loss. Instead, he said with a sad face, "Commander-in-chief, please think about it again. How can a person enter such a boiling pot, and, moreover, throw so many poisonous things into it? You are asking for death!"
After guarding the Devil City for several months, Du Jingcai dragged his tired body and fell down. Thinking back carefully, Du Jingcai was covered in blood after the previous battle. Even today, he still felt a little panicked.
His body was injured, and his hands and feet were injured to varying degrees. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died several times, but Du Jingcai survived with his perseverance. However, although minor injuries can be gradually recovered with energy, serious injuries cannot. ``````.~.
One is that he was seriously injured, and the other is that there are wolves in front of him and tigers and leopards behind him.
Although he agreed to let Du Jianan go outside to seek reinforcements, after actually seeing the strength of the reinforcements, Du Jingcai fell into a helpless anxiety.
Du Jingcai was not optimistic about Du Jianan's request for help at first, but at that time, the Greenskin Legion was like crazy, constantly attacking the Devil City. Du Jingcai had no other choice but to accept Du Jianan's proposal and try to ask for help.
The original intention was to drive the tiger to devour the wolf, but now it seems that it is a bit like shooting oneself in the foot.
Du Jingcai is cruel and has a deep blood feud with the greenskin army. If he cannot recover at this critical juncture, and the greenskins start a counterattack again, he will definitely not end up well.
Therefore, Du Jing couldn't wait, and had no way to wait, so he ordered his confidants to find highly poisonous things in order to absorb the energy of the highly poisonous things and use it to help him reach a new level.
Du Jingcai understood Du Jianan's worries, so at this moment his tone gradually became calmer and he said lightly, "Don't you believe me? I never fight without confidence. Now, pour those things in immediately!"
"But—" Du Jianan frowned slightly and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"There's nothing to worry about. Let's put it down now. These can't cause any serious harm to me. My purpose is very simple, which is to absorb the energy. Because only in this way can my body recover earlier, and only then will I have the opportunity to impact a higher level!" Du Jingcai glanced at Du Jianan beside him, his tone full of unquestionable majesty.
Du Jianan looked a little troubled. He looked at the boiling water in the pot, then looked at the biological core in his hand. He took a step with some difficulty. After hesitating again and again, he poured it into the water.
In an instant, the boiling water merged with countless poisons. The water gradually turned pitch black and emitted an extremely unpleasant smell. Even Du Jianan felt chest tightness and headache after smelling it several times.
"It's really serious..." Du Jianan whispered, glancing at Du Jingcai's face, which looked like he had one foot in the grave.
“Yes, this kind of highly poisonous substance can poison even a dragon to death, let alone a human. And this is what I want.” Unlike Du Jianan, Du Jingcai’s expression remained calm, without the slightest fluctuation.
At the side, the war servant was also a little confused. His slender figure stood not far away, but his eyes were fixed on the cauldron.
The war servant is a dimensional life form, who descended here from an unknown dimension. He has a human face, but not a trace of blood in his body. Every day of his existence is just for fighting.
After being impressed by Du Jingcai's strength, he surrendered to him and his loyalty lasted for several years.
"Commander-in-chief, is there a chance of failure in this promotion method?" The war servant, who was usually taciturn, spoke lightly at this moment.
"If it wasn't in the past, but at this moment, my body is a little frustrated, less than 50% sure." Du Jingcai did not lie to Du Jianan and others, but said calmly,
"Less than 50% certainty, so..." The war servant's lips began to tremble.
Du Jingcai waved his hand and said lazily, "I am in this state. I can't hold out for more than a few days. Although the Greenskin Legion is suppressed now, the reinforcements of the Order are right beside. If they have any bad intentions, I can't do anything and can only surrender! I am unwilling to do so! So, I can only give it a try!"
Du Jingcai's cold smile and words with his spear and stick made the war servant frown, but he knew that Du Jingcai was the kind of person who could not be changed once he made a decision, so he did not say much.
"Hurry up, I don't have any extra time to waste." Du Jingcai flicked his sleeves lightly and said lightly without paying attention to the expression of the war servant.
"Well, in that case, I won't say much, Commander-in-Chief, but please pay attention and inform us immediately if there are any changes!" Du Jianan gritted his teeth and pondered for a while, but finally nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, then you guys please step aside for a while. I don't want to be disturbed by anyone." After waving his hand casually, Du Jingcai slowly stood up and looked at the big pot in front of him. His eyes showed no sadness or joy, as if he was ready to die.
Seeing that Du Jingcai was about to take action, Du Jianan and the war servant hurriedly stepped back a few steps, and then watched Du Jingcai's "self-destruction" intently.
Du Jingcai's expression suddenly changed in the next second. He violently slapped his chest with his hidden power, revealing a skinny body covered with scars.
Looking at this skinny body, even with Du Jingcai's temperament, he couldn't help but shook his head, and the eyes of the war servant who always regarded human life as nothing could not help but become red. It used to only know how to kill and fight, but now it looked a little pitiful.
Slowly stretching out his toes, Du Jing walked towards the pot, but his tone did not change, "I'm going to start. I said that I would use poison to fight poison to impact my realm, but boiling water with a temperature of hundreds of degrees will definitely bring me extremely dangerous consequences, so you must be mentally prepared."
Hearing this, Du Jianan and Zhan Pu's faces changed slightly, but they could only smile bitterly and nodded.
Du Jingcai slowly closed his eyes, and energy suddenly emerged from his body, but his body was wrapped in this energy.
Du Jingcai gritted his teeth and stepped into the boiling water. Even though he had energy to protect him, his body still began to tremble violently.
After stepping his feet into the boiling water, Du Jing half-closed his eyes and slowly let the energy cover his body, covering not only his skin but also his bones.
With the help of the derivation of energy, Du Jingcai's head gradually wrinkled. The hidden injuries on his body were far beyond his expectations.
"It seems that it is impossible to heal the wound all at once. I'd better choose to heal it slowly. Otherwise, if I keep going on, I will only have one end, which is to be completely corroded by the venom and then die miserably!" Du Jingcai murmured in his heart, and then moved the energy closer to the bones of his whole body. As he approached, Du Jingcai's energy gradually began to relax, but his attention was strengthened exponentially.
As his body continued to enter the hot water, Du Jingcai's face gradually showed a sense of pain, and his scarred palms clenched tightly. The blue veins in his arms throbbed.
The body wrapped in energy stopped rising when it reached every temperature.
Du Jingcai slowly took a breath of the slightly hot air, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and threw his whole body into the boiling water.
"ah…"
As the water boiled, Du Jingcai, who had been so confident, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a hoarse, painful roar came out of his mouth. A fierce aura came back to life, like a last gasp.
"Commander-in-chief..." Looking at Du Jingcai's painful face, Du Jianan and the war servant beside him finally couldn't bear their inner panic, and ran to Du Jingcai and shouted hurriedly.
"Commander-in-chief, don't take risks. Can't we just give him conservative treatment and let him recover slowly? If Order really has malicious intentions, I will be the first to rush in and fight with him to the death!" Du Jianan shouted in panic with trembling lips as he looked at Du Jingcai.
Hearing the voice beside him, Du Jingcai turned his head slightly and looked at the face full of tattoos. He was stunned for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and laughed dryly, "What are you talking about? After all, I am the commander of the Devil City. You don't have to go before I die!"
=
"No! Commander, this is different. This is not giving up halfway. I'm afraid that if you can't hold on and die in there, what will I do?"
"Haha, my fate is in my own hands. If I don't succeed, I'll die. The path I, Du Jingcai, will take is destined to be a strong man. How can such a mere pain make me give up!"
"Commander-in-chief, but your body." Looking at Du Jingcai with a painful face, the war servant breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh.
"War Servant, don't you even listen to me?"
"but."
"Be quiet." Ignoring the two people's dissuasion, Du Jingcai let out a barely perceptible angry voice, which made Du Jianan and Zhan Pu a little stunned, and then they kept quiet helplessly.
In the quiet room, Zhan Pu and Du Jianan lowered their heads in silence, occasionally casting their eyes towards Du Jingcai who was being boiled in the pot. As time passed, looking at the sweat pouring down Du Jingcai's face and the veins bulging on his arms, Du Jianan and Zhan Pu's expressions gradually became impatient. They looked at each other, and saw some anxiety and uneasiness in each other's eyes.
Ignoring the two people in the room, Du Jingcai's face remained calm. Although he felt severe pain all over his body, he hid it deep in his heart and tried not to show it on his face.
Some of his words were true. If he couldn't even endure this kind of pain, then was he still Du Jingcai? !
Du Jingcai gritted his teeth and wrapped the energy around the outside of his bones in order to protect his body so that he could heal his wounds under the boiling water.
At this time, Du Jingcai's whole body was red, his handsome face was twitching constantly, and the sound of gasping for air leaked out from between his teeth.
"Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer!" Du Jingcai clenched his fists tightly, and the blue veins in his arms bulged like little snakes, and his voice was a little hoarse and trembling.
Du Jingcai gritted his teeth and his head was covered with sweat. In addition to the torture of the boiling water, the energy he used was also a heavy burden on his body. Feeling the worried faces of the people beside him, Du Jingcai finally walked out of the boiling water, then opened his eyes, his body full of veins bulging.
"Commander-in-chief, can your injuries really be recovered now?" Looking at Du Jingcai's painful expression, Du Jianan said in a calm tone.
"According to the current progress, there seems to be no problem." Du Jingcai said lightly.
"Then, Commander-in-Chief, can your body withstand such a strong venom and boiling water?" Even though Du Jingcai said it himself, there was no problem, Du Jianan still felt a little worried, so he frowned and said.
"Okay, stop talking for now. I have to complete the final sprint!" Frowning, Du Jingcai bent his ten fingers, and saw that the black potion on his body was gradually peeling off under the impact of energy, and his skin returned to its former white color.
"Commander-in-chief, did you succeed?!" Seeing that Du Jingcai seemed to have stopped moving, the war servant hurriedly took two steps forward and asked.
"No, it's just that today's treatment is complete. At this rate, I will need to soak for at least dozens of times before I can break through my current state."
"Ah? It still takes so long? Can your body hold on?!" Although he still believed in Du Jingcai as always, the other party's behavior was too shocking. Therefore, even the war servant who always regarded Du Jingcai's words as an imperial edict was a little confused at this moment and didn't know what to do.
"Okay, don't think too much. Order people to collect a large amount of poison. In addition, I also want powerful monsters. Those guys are entrenched around the Devil City and have devoured countless residents. Now I need to be promoted, so they will naturally offer themselves to me and let me devour them!"
Du Jianan narrowed his eyes. He only wanted promotion now, at all costs... Promotion!
